Why do you want discs? If you're after an entry level bike, braking is a low priority. Besides, fair braking can be had with either type of braking system if what you're after is a decent bike.
I have a fixed gear bike in size 56 that you may want to look at. But then again if you're after a bike to put the miles in then you ought to be looking for an endurance bike. The problem with long miles is that they end up as junk miles. Better to keep the workouts short and intense. The reason I ride fixed is purely for practicality and the odd sport if I feel like it.
